MARRIAGE BETWEEN TWO
MEN OR TWO WOMEN IS GOOD, BUT POLYGAMY IS BAD?
by H. Millard (c) 2003

I start from the position that spreading one's genes
is nature's way, and that every healthy living thing carries an internal
command to have his/her genes dominate.

Last
week in Utah, Jeremy Kingston was arrested at a party he was having
at his house for about 800 family members. Jeremy and the other Kingstons
weren't doing anything illegal. They weren't making bombs. They weren't
planning crimes. They're not terrorists. They were simply minding their
own business and enjoying being with their family members in a wholesome
family atmosphere. In fact, from all reports, it appears that Jeremy
and his family are very religious, are hard workers, and try to live
upstanding lives. Yet, the state barged in and arrested Jeremy right
in front of his three wives and 17 children.

You start to see the problem.

Had Jeremy been married to a man, or maybe a sheep,
there would have been no problem. Had Jeremy been involved in killing
babies via abortion, there would have been no problem. Had Jeremy been
an illegal alien, there would have been no problem. Jeremy, was simply
minding his own business and living his peaceful life in accordance
with his religion--which is really none of the state's business. But,
that's what led to the problem. Jeremy Kingston practices plural marriage,
or polygamy.

It
seems the state that implicitly encourages the killing of babies with
abortions, and increasingly allows homosexual marriages or their same-sex
equivalents, and which promotes genocide via miscegenation and massive
non-white immigration, just can't stand to see people practice an American
born, religiously oriented life style that actually results in people
having more children as many believe God has commanded. And, apparently,
in this case, more white children. Many more white children. Gobs of
white children. White children without end. Little white kids all over
the place like they're going out of style--which of course they are,
in most places.

Understand right from the start that the fact that these folks are white
was not part of the arrest or even part of the story, as far as I know.
However, this story may inadvertently offer important lessons for the
survival of white people (or any other minority people) in a hostile
world. There is also a possible tangential nexus to earlier religious
teachings that makes bringing this up relevant.

I don't know all the beliefs of Jeremy's church, which is an offshoot
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and which
is officially called the Latter-Day Church of Christ. Apparently to
avoid persecution, the church is secretive. Who can blame them? Our
local, state, and federal governments are controlled by people who want
to impose their religious beliefs, their social views, and their what's-happening-now
sensitivities on others via the laws that have often been written and
enforced based on the religious biases of those who write and enforce
them. My guess, however, is that Jeremy's church probably practices
the type of Mormonism that the present mainstream Mormon Church has
increasingly moved away from in order to be PC.

A fairly recent example of a doctrine that the mainstream
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has changed involves the
priesthood. Up until this change, non-whites could be members of the
church, but weren't allowed to hold the priesthood. This was based on
the original doctrines and revelations of Joseph Smith who founded the
church. The effect of this doctrine was that the church remained mostly
white. Then, a few years ago, when anti-racism became all the rage,
a church leader suddenly had a convenient revelation that non-whites
could hold the priesthood. This has led to an increase in Mormon missionary
activity in Third World nations and a darkening of the church's membership.
It's also a reason why there are more and more Third World problems
and illegal alien criminals in Utah.

Again, as far as I know, this latest convenient PC revelation about
race doesn't have anything to do Jeremy's case, and Jeremy and many,
or all, Kingstons might disagree with suggestions that there might be
a lesson for white people in this matter. However, if, in fact, as many
surmise, Jeremy and his clan follow earlier Mormon beliefs in all regards,
including not allowing non-whites to hold the priesthood, then it's
probably just a matter of time before some anti-racist crackpot screams
racism in order to try to destroy the clan.

The official reason given by the state for grabbing
Jeremy was incest. This seems to be preferred way to grab polygamists
in Utah these days where there are still many polygamists, and where
many of the most prominent people in the state are descended from earlier
polygamists, and where the issue is still touchy. In the Kingstons'
church it is apparently common, and may be part of their doctrines,
for cousins to marry. Jeremy married a first cousin. She became his
fourth wife and bore him two children. Then, as with many marriages,
something went sour in the relationship and this cousin/wife left Jeremy
and dropped a dime on him with the state.

So, the charge of incest was brought. However, it would be naive to
think that plural marriage--polygamy--isn't part of the mix.

The official belief in plural marriages fell by the wayside for mainstream
Mormons a century ago. Back then, the Mormons were seeking statehood
for Utah, but bigots across the country were up in arms about polygamy,
and the Mormons were being physically attacked and were being smeared
left and right so that statehood was being withheld. Then, a Mormon
leader had a convenient PC revelation that plural marriage--even though
it had been practiced by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young--(the two Mr.
Bigs of Mormonism)--was no longer allowed. Some Mormons truly accepted
the change in doctrine. Some others just went along with the revelation
in order to stop the persecution. Some others didn't accept the revelation,
but pretended they did, and remained in the mainstream church and went
underground to practice their religion in secret as do others in persecuted
religions. All seemed to understand that religious freedom really means
that you must at least pretend to conform to the current orthodoxy pushed
by the state, and can only differ on minor matters.

However, there were others who believed that church
leaders were weak and wrong and were leading Mormons astray. They contended
that if Joseph Smith's teachings were valid and were from God, that
they were still valid and were still from God, no matter what people
of other religions might think or what others might try to impose on
them and no matter what later convenient revelations said. They believed
that they were doing God's work by following what Joseph Smith revealed
to them. So, over the years, various Mormons who felt this way, split
off from the main body of Mormons and founded their own churches where
they held to the original teachings of Smith. The Kingston family--now
so large that the term family has given way to "clan"--is
one of the groups that split with main stream Mormonism; reportedly
in the 1930's.

Our world has gotten so nutty that Jeremy wouldn't have been in trouble
had he done the anti-nature (can't procreate) act of marrying a man.
Yet, society seems to feel that a man marrying more than one woman (which
maximizes procreation) is a problem and that those who do it need to
be arrested.

Jeremy and his clan need to get with the program. This
is, after all, the 21st Century. This is post-American America. Today,
you can do whatever you want in your own bedroom, so long as it's with
someone of the same sex, or something of a different species, and you
can have non-traditional marriages so long as they don't involve polygamy
and so-called incest. Same sex marriages also keep the population low,
as those in such relationships find it particularly difficult to reproduce.
God, or nature, hasn't been very PC in this regard.

What about the incest part of this story about Jeremy? The word sounds
worse than what seems to be happening in Jeremy's church. Apparently,
in the Latter-Day Church of Christ, marrying cousins is not a problem.
In a 1999 incest case, that is similar to the present one, involving
one of Jeremy's relatives named David Orell Kingston, the judge said,
"If a child is conceived in that relationship (between cousins),
it faces a greater risk of being born with birth defects, mental retardation,
et cetera." Well, yes and no.

If both parents carry dominant genes for a certain
characteristic (whether a good characteristic or a bad characteristic)
then the characteristic will be passed on to their offspring. Thus,
if both parents both carry only dominant genes for retardation--which
means that both parents are also retarded--their children will be retarded.
If the parents carry dominant and recessive versions of genes for a
certain characteristic, including retardation, then the probabilities
of passing on the characteristic are less.

Cousins or other close relatives who marry, have a greater chance of
passing on characteristics than unrelated people because there is a
higher probability that they will have inherited the same recessive
genes from a common ancestor. This isn't necessarily bad. If both parents
carry, by way of example, recessive genes for a genius level I.Q. there
is a greater chance of this being passed on. It is the same with all
other characteristics, including skin color, hair color and type, eye
color, body shape and all the millions of other characteristics that
make each of us, us and our families, our families. Marriage between
cousins just increases the chance that family characteristics, whether
they are good or bad, will be passed on. It is a common misconception
that mating with close relatives is the cause of birth defects just
because they are close relatives. This is nonsense. The closeness of
relationship has nothing to do with it..

Dog, cat, and horse breeders, to name but three examples, often mate
closely related animals in order to have offspring with some desirable
characteristic or other. With dogs and cats, this often involves trying
to start a new breed with some interesting characteristic such as a
type of fur or shape of head or other physical feature. With horses,
it usually involves trying to breed a faster horse. How difficult is
it to start such a new breed of dog or cat (or human) or to breed a
faster horse? Not very. You just have to find males and females with
the characteristic you want to breed for and breed them. Then breed
their offspring that also have that characteristic, but not the ones
that don't, and keep going that way until finally you end up with a
breed that will breed true for that characteristic.

It works that way with humans, also. Think Swedish
blondes or red haired Scots.

So, how have polygamy and "incest" worked out for the Kingstons?
Have they become a family of retarded hicks? Hardly. According to news
reports, many family members are lawyers, accountants, and other professionals,
and the clan has a business empire estimated to be worth around $150
million dollars that is spread across several Western states. Furthermore,
the Kingstons appear to be doing what they believe God wants them to
do. Including multiplying. And, while they may not state it this way,
or think in these terms--the Kingston genes are dominating other genes,
simply because they're having so many Kingston babies, while many people
who don't believe as they do, are having fewer babies.

Meanwhile, many "with-it" people in our society who gobble
up whatever the state says, are living meaningless, empty, purposeless
lives as dead ends in their family lines and are having few or no children
or are mating with people who do not share their genes and are thus
destroying their families as the term was originally intended.

Some Kingstons may eventually dance on the graves of
those who are persecuting them. It is not those with the most toys who
win when they die, but those with the most children.

The Kingstons started as a family. They've grown to a clan. If they
keep going, they may become a tribe, and then a nation. This is exactly
how nations grew in history before nations became groups of unrelated
people who happened to live in a certain geographic area.

It may be that polygamy is a good survival technique in a world gone
mad. Check back in a couple of hundred years and see if you seem to
be running into a heck of a lot of people named Kingston.
